I have no excuses for how long it has been, I will just make up for it with this super long chapter. If anyone is still reading this I thank you and apologize. I own nothing it all belongs to Warner Bros., NBC, Subway, Fedak, and Schwartz. If I did own it I would probably have kept it for myself.
Chap: 6
Sam had never understood why Beckman assigned her with two women old enough to be her mother. She never questioned it out loud though, as she was trained to be a good soldier. Since she was to no longer be employed by the United States government, maybe she might start questioning things like that. Really her mind was only on one subject, her parents were spies? After thinking long and hard about this, it really made sense to Sam, after all her mother was a self-defense teacher at a local academy, and her dad was an excellent computer hacker. She would never tell her mom this, but her dad was the one that would take her out shooting on the weekends that her mom had a big competition. He would stress the importance of safety, and encourage her to not use a gun on a human being unless her or her siblings' lives were in danger. Sam was surprisingly good at shooting with a pistol, so she encouraged her father to bring different weapons. He would teach her how to shoot all of them safely and teach her proper care. Now that she looked back, she understood more about where her father was coming from, he was worried that an old enemy might try to harm her or her siblings. It also explained where he kept getting the awesome guns.
Chuck pointed at the staircase and said to Morgan, "Could you take my daughter to the break-room and help her formally resign from the CIA? And take your daughter as well; we don't need anyone getting hurt." Morgan picked up Casey, and nodded towards Sam. They all started up the steps, and Sam knew that it might take a while before her parents had warmed up to the idea of her spy life. She also knew that she was going to be is so much trouble when she got home. She still wasn't certain that grounding her for all eternity would be enough for her parents.
As they reached the door Chuck turned toward Sarah and said, "I wonder how this will affect the sale?" Sam turned to ask what this sale was, but Morgan held her back and the elevator started rising.

Chuck was freaking out. Not only was his daughter a spy, one who could be accused to crimes against the country for hacking into a government database, but he was down in Castle with his wife, his ex, Casey Sr., and Anna Wu. He turned toward Sarah and asked her about the sale that they were currently preparing for. Anna looked up from the magnificent computer that she was ogling, "What sale is that, Chuckles?" She uncrossed her legs, and pulled off the baggy sweatshirt showing a small white tank-top underneath.
Chuck looked around, "I was supposed to give you a piece of equipment in return for a sizable check from the US government that will help immensely in the purchase of the next branch of Carmichael Industries. I am worried that this hiccup will cause problems with the sale." The two spies looked at him with no recognition that he was even speaking English. "Ok, Carmichael Industries has been trying to purchase more of the Buy Mores' in the US as it has proven time and again to be a perfect cover for our other operations. Even though C.I. is not just a private spy team anymore, we operate in many different fields."
Anna looked at Hannah as she rose from the chair that she had been sitting on. The cold metal base that they were in seemed to loom over their heads. One of the two people Anna never thought could be a spy was currently talking about having not only one secret spy base, but possibly multiple bases. When they had played the "I Spy or Not" game, as Anna had dubbed it, she didn't think anything would come of a stupid game that they played to get over some boredom. John Casey took a step out of the shadows that he had been standing in, and grunted. All eyes turned toward him. "I think we should not talk about our business with these two, we should give them what they came for and send them on their way, because they are a liability."
"Casey!" Sarah reprimanded, he had been spending too much time with his wife lately. She had gotten back from a trip to a tiny country in Africa, and they had barely been out of each others' sights. The only reason he was here now was because Chuck was worried that the government was trying to resurrect some of their past mistakes. "Be nice, these people used to be our friends. You gave the recommendation that Anna be trained as an operative yourself, if you don't remember." Sarah smiled at Anna before turning to Hannah, "I am sorry that I over reacted when I saw you. I can't really offer you an explanation for my actions, but I know that you really cared for Chuck a long time ago, when I wasn't there to care for him. So can you forgive me for my faux pa?"
Hannah looked around at the people that she thought she knew so well, even the cold hearted combat specialist that she had assumed so much about looked so very different in this situation. She supposed that she was just looking at them through her "Buy More" glasses, and vowed never to do so again. She stood up, raising herself to match the rest of the group, "Of course I forgive you, I understand that it is quite a strange situation that you find yourself in." She smiled warmly at the blonde, "I don't begrudge you the slap at all, I after all must have hurt your husband badly when I called him the best liar I had ever met. I was really just hurting because I had been lying to him for our entire relationship, and felt awful about it. I guess I took it out on him."
Chuck laughed nervously and shifted himself between the two, "Alright, let's get a hold of Beckman, and get you guys on your way Anna, and Hannah. Does that ever get confusing?" They looked at Chuck quizzically, "I mean your team members are Anna, Hannah, and Samantha, does anyone every mess up your names or call you by the wrong one, or well this is really not important right now. We'll talk about this later."
Chuck walked under the archway leading into the monitor room, and called the General on a secure line. He looked up at his beautiful wife, "See this is why I need a keyboard, it is so much easier to type with one. In the world of devices to small to contain keyboards the hacker is king." She smiled at him, and rolled her eyes at the ongoing conversation that they had been having for years. The screen blipped as the General came on screen.
"Is the package ready to be handed off Bartowski?" Beckman got right to the point. Her red hair now streaked with grey, yet it seemed that age had mostly passed the general by. Chuck still couldn't believe that the General was still working for the government, she had to be around eighty now.
"Yes it is General, but I am not sure that I should sell it to you. Did the government not learn its lesson the first five times that the Intersect is a dangerous piece of equipment that even its creator did not want to unleash on the world? I did make the cipher according to your schematics, but please tell me that you are not making another Intersect or that you at least have a Key." Chuck looked over at Casey and Sarah with a worried look in his brown eyes.
Hannah approached the area where team Bartowski was standing, "The government is not making an Intersect, we are using the data of the previous intersects to create a simulation that will train upcoming spies on the farm without resulting in injury. The cipher is an integral part in making sure that the system works. That is why I was assigned to this team I have advanced knowledge in how to make the system work, and have been working on a way to improve on the original designs." She approached the table and grabbed the keyboard that Chuck had previously been using and brought up detailed schematics for the object.
Chuck agreed that this was a good plan, he didn't want to seem too impressed with the new intersect system, but it was beautiful. His love of computers was outweighing his good judgment and he handed Anna the Cipher. Sarah leaned over the table and crossed her arms, "I don't mean to be rude General, but as one of the original C.A.T. squad members, why is there such an age gap?"
Beckman rolled her eyes, "The original idea was to create a team very much like your C.A.T. squad with a team of highly trained covert agents, but it was reimaged to be more focused on some of the more pressing concerns that the agency has had. As you know with the Intersect project being such a big deal in Washington, the agency decided that we had to have a more computer savvy bunch. Thus the C.A.T. squad was christened the Covert Attack Technical squad, and no I didn't come up with that ridiculous name. We pulled our best covert agents that would still be able to handle the computer work, and there was only three."
"Thank you General," Sarah said. "Well it looks like everything is in order and we will expect our payment within the next week." She hit a button on the now much fought over keyboard, and the screen went black. She walked over to the two Agents and motioned for them to follow her out as they were not going through they buy more.
Chuck watched his amazing beautiful wife escort the agents out of the building, and thought to himself, 'I never imagined that we would be here again after all this time.' He remembered the problems that they had to get to in order to reach this point. He remembered that day on the beach.

Chuck and Sarah separated from the kiss that they had shared, and Chuck tried not to appear too hopeful. He didn't want Sarah to think that he was some kind of shnuck. He pulled his hands out her hair where they had ended up, and placed them awkwardly in his lap. "So do you remember any of it?" He asked timidly, "Do you remember us?"
Sarah tucked her hair behind her ears, she was going to have to get used to the shortened length eventually, "No, I'm sorry Chuck but I don't remember, but I want to. Maybe I will stick around for a while and see what happens I want to remember the life I had with you. I just don't know if I can." She stood up, and walked towards the parking lot, as Chuck watched the sun rise in the sky.
